1 Human Development Indices and Indicators: 2018 Statistical Update Briefing note for countries on the 2018 Statistical Update Introduction Turkey This briefing note is organized into ten sections. The first section presents information on the country coverage and methodology of the 2018 Statistical Update. The next five sections provide information about key of human development including the Human Development Index (HDI), the Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (IHDI), the Gender Development Index (GDI), the Gender Inequality Index (GII) and a section with five dashboards. This Statistical Update does not contain the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI). This year, the MPI was computed using the methodology jointly revised by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) and the Human Development Report Office (HDRO) and it will be available in due course. It is important to note that national and international data can differ because international agencies standardize national data to allow comparability across countries and in some cases may not have access to the most recent national data. Country coverage and the methodology of the 2018 Statistical Update The 2018 Statistical Update presents the 2017 HDI (values and ranks) for 189 countries and UNrecognized territories, along with the IHDI for 151 countries, the GDI for 164 countries, and the GII for 160 countries. It is misleading to compare values and rankings with those of previously published reports, because of revisions and updates of the underlying data and adjustments to goalposts. Readers are advised to assess progress in HDI values by referring to table 2 ( Human Development Index Trends ) in the 2018 Statistical Update. Table 2 is based on consistent, methodology and time-series data and, thus, shows real changes in values and ranks over time, reflecting the actual progress countries have made. Small changes in values should be interpreted with caution as they may not be statistically significant due to sampling variation. Generally speaking, changes at the level of the decimal place in any of the composite indices are considered insignificant. Unless otherwise specified in the source, tables use data available to HDRO as of 15 July All indices and, along with technical notes on the calculation of composite indices, and additional source information are available online at For further details on how each index is calculated please refer to Technical Notes 1-5 and the associated background papers available on the Human Development Report website: Human Development Index (HDI) The HDI is a summary measure for assessing long-term progress in three basic dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, access to knowledge and a decent standard of living. A long and healthy life is measured by life expectancy. Knowledge level is measured by mean years of education among the adult population, which is the average number of years of education received in a life-time by people aged 25 years and older; and access to learning and knowledge by expected years of schooling for children of school-entry age, which is the total number of years of schooling a child of school-entry age can expect to receive if prevailing patterns of age-specific enrolment rates stay the same throughout the child's life. Standard of living is measured by Gross National Income (GNI) per capita expressed in constant 2011 international dollars converted using purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion rates. For more details see Technical Note 1.

2 To ensure as much cross-country comparability as possible, the HDI is based primarily on international data from the United Nations Population Division (the life expectancy data), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics (the mean years of schooling and expected years of schooling data) and the World Bank (the GNI per capita data). As stated in the introduction, the HDI values and ranks in this Statistical Update are not comparable to those in past reports because of a number of revisions to the component. To allow for assessment of progress in HDIs, the 2018 Statistical Update includes recalculated HDIs from 1990 to 2017 using consistent series of data. Turkey s HDI value and rank Turkey s HDI value for 2017 is which put the country in the high human development category positioning it at 64 out of 189 countries and territories. Between 1990 and 2017, Turkey s HDI value increased from to 0.791, an increase of 36.6 percent. Table A reviews Turkey s progress in each of the HDI. Between 1990 and 2017, Turkey s life expectancy at birth increased by 11.7 years, mean years of schooling increased by 3.5 years and expected years of schooling increased by 6.3 years. Turkey s GNI per capita increased by about percent between 1990 and Table A: Turkey s HDI trends based on consistent time series data and new goalposts Life expectancy Expected years Mean years of GNI per capita at birth of schooling schooling (2011 PPP$) HDI value , , , , , , , , Figure 1 below shows the contribution of each component index to Turkey s HDI since Figure 1: Trends in Turkey s HDI component indices

3 Assessing progress relative to other countries The human development progress, as measured by the HDI, can usefully be compared to other countries. For instance, during the period between 1990 and 2017 Turkey, Albania and Armenia experienced different degrees of progress toward increasing their HDIs (see figure 2). Figure 2: HDI trends for Turkey, Albania and Armenia, Turkey s 2017 HDI of is above the average of for countries in the high human development group and above the average of for countries in Europe and Central Asia. From Europe and Central Asia, countries which are close to Turkey in 2017 HDI rank and to some extent in population size are Azerbaijan and Serbia, which have HDIs ranked 80 and 67 respectively (see table B). Table B: Turkey s HDI and component for 2017 relative to selected countries and groups HDI value HDI rank Life Expected GNI per Mean years expectancy years of capita of schooling at birth schooling (PPP US$) Turkey ,804 Azerbaijan ,600 Serbia ,019 Europe and Central Asia ,331 High HDI ,999 Inequality-adjusted HDI (IHDI) The HDI is an average measure of basic human development achievements in a country. Like all averages, the HDI masks inequality in the distribution of human development across the population at the country level. The 2010 HDR introduced the IHDI, which takes into account inequality in all three dimensions of the HDI by discounting each dimension s average value according to its level of inequality. The IHDI is basically the HDI discounted for inequalities. The loss in human development due to inequality is given by the difference between the HDI and the IHDI, and can be expressed as a

4 percentage. As the inequality in a country increases, the loss in human development also increases. We also present the coefficient of human inequality as a direct measure of inequality which is an unweighted average of inequalities in three dimensions. The IHDI is calculated for 151 countries. For more details see Technical Note 2. Turkey s HDI for 2017 is However, when the value is discounted for inequality, the HDI falls to 0.669, a loss of 15.4 percent due to inequality in the distribution of the HDI dimension indices. Azerbaijan and Serbia show losses due to inequality of 10.0 percent and 15.2 percent respectively. The average loss due to inequality for high HDI countries is 16.0 percent and for Europe and Central Asia it is 11.7 percent. The Human inequality coefficient for Turkey is equal to 15.3 percent. Table C: Turkey s IHDI for 2017 relative to selected countries and groups Human Inequality in life IHDI Overall inequality expectancy at value loss (%) coefficient (%) birth (%) Inequality in education (%) Inequality in income (%) Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia Europe and Central Asia High HDI Gender Development Index (GDI) In the 2014 HDR, HDRO introduced a new measure, the GDI, based on the sex-disaggregated Human Development Index, defined as a ratio of the female to the male HDI. The GDI measures gender inequalities in achievement in three basic dimensions of human development: health (measured by female and male life expectancy at birth), education (measured by female and male expected years of schooling for children and mean years for adults aged 25 years and older); and command over economic resources (measured by female and male estimated GNI per capita). For details on how the index is constructed refer to Technical Note 3. Country groups are based on absolute deviation from gender parity in HDI. This means that the grouping takes into consideration inequality in favour of men or women equally. The GDI is calculated for 164 countries. The 2017 female HDI value for Turkey is in contrast with for males, resulting in a GDI value of 0.922, placing it into Group 4. In comparison, GDI values for Azerbaijan and Serbia are and respectively (see Table D).

Reproductive health is measured by maternal mortality and adolescent birth rates; empowerment is measured by the share of parliamentary seats held by women and attainment in secondary and higher education by each gender; and economic activity is measured by the labour market participation rate for women and men. The GII can be interpreted as the

5 loss in human development due to inequality between female and male achievements in the three GII dimensions. For more details on GII please see Technical Note 4. Turkey has a GII value of 0.317, ranking it 69 out of 160 countries in the 2017 index. In Turkey, 14.6 percent of parliamentary seats are held by women, and 44.9 percent of adult women have reached at least a secondary level of education compared to 66.0 percent of their male counterparts. For every 100,000 live births, 16 women die from pregnancy related causes; and the adolescent birth rate is 25.8 births per 1,000 women of ages Female participation in the labour market is 32.4 percent compared to 71.9 for men. In comparison, Azerbaijan and Serbia are ranked at 71 and 40 respectively on this index.

The intention is not to suggest the thresholds or target values for these but to allow a crude assessment of country s performance relative to others. Three-colour coding visualizes a partial grouping of countries by indicator. It can be seen as a simple visualization tool as it helps the users to immediately picture the country s performance. A country that is in the top group performs better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers); a country that is in the middle group performs better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers); and a country that is in the bottom performs worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Three-color coding visualizes a partial grouping of countries by indicator. More details about partial grouping in this table are given in Technical note 6. Dashboard 1: Quality of human development This dashboard contains a selection of 13 associated with the quality of health, education and standard of living. The on quality of health are lost health expectancy, number of physicians, and number of hospital beds. The on quality of education are pupil-teacher ratio in primary schools; primary school teachers trained to teach; proportion of schools with access to the internet; and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores in mathematics, reading and science. The on quality of standard of living are the proportion of employed people engaged in vulnerable employment, the proportion of rural population with access to electricity, the proportion of population using improved drinking water sources and proportion of population using improved sanitation facilities. A country that is in the top group on all can be considered a country with the highest quality of human development. The dashboard shows that not all countries in the very high human development group have the highest quality of human development and that many countries in the low human development group are in the bottom of all quality in the table.

6 Table F provides the number of in which Turkey performs: better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers); better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers); and worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Figures for Azerbaijan and Serbia are also shown in the Table F: Summary of Turkey s performance on the Quality of human development relative to selected countries Quality of health (3 ) Quality of education (6 ) Quality of standard of living (4 ) Overall (13 ) Number of Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia Dashboard 2: Life-course gender gap This dashboard contains a selection of 12 key that display gender gaps in choices and opportunities over the life course childhood and youth, adulthood and older age. The refer to education, labour market and work, political representation, time use and social protection. Three are presented only for women and the rest are given in the form of female-to-male ratio. Countries are grouped partially by their performance in each indicator into three groups of approximately equal size (terciles). Sex ratio at birth is an exception - countries are grouped into two groups: the natural group (countries with a value of , inclusive) and the gender-biased group (countries with all other values). Deviations from the natural sex ratio at birth have implications for population replacement levels, suggest possible future social and economic problems and may indicate gender bias. Table G provides the number of in which Turkey performs: better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers), better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers), and worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Figures for Azerbaijan and Serbia are also shown in the Table G: Summary of Turkey s performance on the Life-course gender gap dashboard relative to selected countries Childhood and youth (5 ) Adulthood (6 ) Older age (1 indicator) Overall (12 ) Number of Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia

7 Dashboard 3: Women s empowerment This dashboard contains a selection of 13 woman-specific empowerment that allows empowerment to be compared across three dimensions reproductive health and family planning, violence against girls and women and socioeconomic empowerment. Three-color coding visualizes a partial grouping of countries by indicator. Most countries have at least one indicator in each tercile, which implies that women s empowerment is unequal across and countries. Table H provides the number of in which Turkey performs: better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers), better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers), and worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Figures for Azerbaijan and Serbia are also shown in the Table H: Summary of Turkey s performance on the Women s empowerment dashboard relative to selected countries Reproductive health and family planning (6 ) Violence against girls and women (3 ) Socioeconomic empowerment (4 ) Overall (13 ) Number of Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia Dashboard 4: Environmental sustainability This dashboard contains a selection of 9 that cover environmental sustainability and environmental threats. The environmental sustainability present levels of or changes in energy consumption, carbon-dioxide emissions, change in forest area and fresh water withdrawals. The environmental threats are mortality rates attributed to household and ambient air pollution and to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene services, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List Index value, which measures change in aggregate extinction risk across groups of species. The percentage of total land area under forest is not coloured because it is meant to provide context for the indicator on change in forest area. Table I provides the number of in which Turkey performs: better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers), better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers), and worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Figures for Azerbaijan and Serbia are also shown in the

8 Table I: Summary of Turkey s performance on the Environmental Sustainability dashboard relative to selected countries Environmental sustainability (6 ) Environmental threats (3 ) Overall (9 ) Number of Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia Dashboard 5: Socioeconomic sustainability This dashboard contains a selection of 10 that cover economic and social sustainability. The economic sustainability are adjusted net savings, total debt service, gross capital formation, skilled labour force, diversity of exports and expenditure on research and development. The social sustainability are the ratio of the sum of education and health expenditure to military expenditure, changes in inequality of HDI distribution, and changes in gender and income inequality. Military expenditure is not coloured because it is meant to provide context for the indicator on education and health expenditure and it is not directly considered as an indicator of socioeconomic sustainability. Table J provides the number of in which Turkey performs: better than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the top performers), better than at least one but worse than at least one (i.e., it is among the medium performers), and worse than at least two s of countries (i.e., it is among the bottom performers). Figures for Azerbaijan and Serbia are also shown in the Table J: Summary of Turkey s performance on the Socioeconomic sustainability dashboard relative to selected countries Economic sustainability (6 ) Social sustainability (4 ) Overall (10 ) Number of Turkey Azerbaijan Serbia
